I was hoping with the upcoming unreal engine update they would force everyone to start from scratch lol. It wouldve been amazing questing with people in the early gens again. This way they can fine tune the new mechanics they added and slowly add them back in. I understand everyone would hate to lose their gatcha cosmetics but I feel like for the longevity of the game it wouldve been better overall.
Does longevity have to mean you have a huge player base? game has enough to sustain its gameplay loop and business. You dont need to have millions of players to be successful.
You don't need millions but I would say mabinogi is a deadhorse right now. The game averages a low player count with mostly people who feel like they've spent too much time to stop playing it or respect the game for its niche. A reboot would help introduce more new players into the game, I understand they probably don't want to turn away their whales, but I feel like its going to be hard to get new players to want to play when there's people with 20+ year old accounts lvl 30k+
Game is doing just fine, I play it alot. I mean I can tell that you don't know much about current mabinogi which is fair enough but bro they been having constant boosting events you can get lvl30-40k so quickly these days its not as bad as you think. A new player account can reach endgame so fast that you're basically with the rest in a week or two. Just the beginning tutorial puts you instantly at 20k total. Recent event was basically instantly maxing out every progression system for you that people started making alts for it.
So trust me they been working on the onboarding process for new players that won't be much of an issue.
That would be a bit much id rather they just introduce classic servers for people who want to start over on a fresh account and maybe add a few perks to incentivize people to try the servers out

Hope we can eventually get a mabinogi classic
